FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Pakistani Inspector General Police Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Muhammad Akbar Hoti said on Sunday that at least 100 of the 384 prisoners who managed to escape have returned of their own accord.
Hoti added that the aim of the attackers was to free Adnan Rasheed who was involved in the attack on former President Pervez Musharraf, a Press TV correspondent reported.
Some 200 armed militants equipped with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades stormed a central jail in the suburbs of the northwestern town of Bannu early on Sunday.
Officials said some of the freed men were “very dangerous Taliban militants,” and at least 21 inmates on death row were among the fugitives.
Meanwhile, Tahreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militant group claimed responsibility for the attack. “We attacked the Bannu prison and got our special members freed,” TTP spokesman, Ehsanullah Ehsan said.
Over the past several years, Pakistani Taliban have targeted the government officials and citizens on a daily basis and the Pakistani military forces have combated the militant group, trying to curb the Taliban’s operations in the northwest where they are strongly stationed.
